helping you make confident design desicions
Stuck on a design decision?
Or just want a second opinion?
Share your design dilemma with us, and our design professionals will send a tailored response to help you move forward with confidence.
Why
Design Decisions was created by architects and designers who believe that everyone deserves access to clear, professional design thinking.
We know there are times when an architect adds real value. When a project needs deep technical input, planning coordination or a full design process.
But not every project reaches that point. Sometimes you just need a second opinion to confirm what you already know. Or a fresh idea to unlock a problem you have been pondering.
DesignDecisions.co.uk exists for those moments.
No fuss. No contract.
No ongoing relationship, unless you want one.
Story & Purpose

Design affects how your home looks, feels and performs. Even small choices can make a big difference.
We make it easier to get professional design insight without the formality or cost of a full appointment. Our focus is on clear, thoughtful guidance that makes good design accessible, sustainable and enjoyable.
We also share insights and ideas. Selected dilemmas are featured anonymously on our site and social channels to help others facing similar challenges.
Each response is tailored, professional and rooted in real design experience - not generic advice.
